Foxit PDF SDK ActiveX
Instantly add PDF Viewing to your ActiveX-based Windows apps. Get faster to market with our visual programming components.
Product overview
PDF SDK ActiveX is ideal for product managers and developers who want an easy to use and a customizable visual component that they can simply drag and drop into their application to quickly create a PDF Viewing application without requiring any PDF expertise.
Small, fast, high-quality, full-featured PDF SDK
The Foxit PDF SDK ActiveX is a visual programming component that offers PDF display and annotation capabilities with minimal resource demand and small re-distribution size. It uses the same core technology as the popular and proven Foxit Reader; therefore, it can display PDF files quickly, accurately, and with high quality. Allowing an easy integration into a wide range of applications, it is designed for a broad spectrum of users who want to develop PDF display and annotation capabilities.
INTRODUCING FOXIT PDF SDK 7.2
Foxit PDF SDK 7.2 comes with major enhancements to our PDF optimization add-on, support for adding a header and footer to PDF documents, additional parameters for retrieving digital signatures directly from a PDF stream, XFA improvements and much more.
On the mobile side, we have added a new scanning add-on module, new form fields support with AcroForm, UI level support for “save as” and “reduce file size” options, plugin improvements to Xamarin, Cordova, React Native, Kotlin and Flutter, as well as brand new demos to get the most of PDF SDK.
For the Web viewer, we have added multiple performance enhancements, including a new worker thread to reduce the viewer initialization time. When loading the resources to display the file, it checks if your PDF is linearized and automatically triggers an asynchronous file loading mode for faster loading times.
